Stage 2 - Mortlake Public School
This term we will be studying a HSIE unit called Time and Change (CCS2.2), where we will be investigating the history of the original people of this area.
Here is a story I have made up
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABooridiow-o-gule
AAAI am from Booridiow-o-gule and I am a member of the Wangal clan. AAAWhen I was 10 years old an amazing thing happened. Now I am 30 years old and have learnt enough to tell you all about it. AAAMy people never counted time in years and months, but now I know your ways I have learnt to do that.
AAAI was 10 in April 1770 and something happened at Kamay. A ship with white men on it came to that place. AAAWhen I was 28 years old, in 1788, more ships came, first to Kamay and then to Warrane. AAALater they came up our river and stopped at Booridiow-o-gule for a meal they called “breakfast”. AAAMy people tell stories to explain our world, and we make art for the same reasons.
Can you work out where these places are?
There is somewhere very near our school called “Breakfast Point”, and just up the river from there is a piece of land known as “Wangal Park”. Does that help?
Your job now is to find out more about these times – what was it like to be an aboriginal child in 1770?
What are the stories that aboriginal people tell and what kind of art do they make? Your Task (Step by Step)
